CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE A dozen people heard him say it. Clark and Patricia were among that dozen. The girl wax appalled. She sensed that Clark was disgusted and displeased. But it was too late now. Blair’s face turned red. He looked hard at Haverholt. “I didn’t expect to see you here,” ' he said. “The same old Julian, too. You haven’t changed a particle. How are you this evening? How is the bridge sharper this evening?” “Very well,” returned Julian smoothly. “I’m sorry my presence upsets you, Reuben. I find yours distinctly disappointing." “Your manners are atrocious.” “They’re better than your bridge.” Blair was angry. He was more than angry. He was furions. Julian had the advantage. There was unmistakably an audience now. Julian gloried in the eagerly watching eyes, the eagerly listening ears. “I, sir,” sputtered Blair, clutching for a withering retort, “I play bridge like a gentleman.” “So I hear,” assented Julian softly. “I hear that gentlemen can’t play bridge. Though,” he admitted courteously, “though I may be mistaken. Perhaps your European trip improved your special brand.” Blair’s dignity and caution were lost in rage. These were his people. This upstart was making him ridiculous. “My bridge needs no improvement, sir. I was a master at the game before you were ever heard of.” Julian sadly shook his head. “You’ve lost your grip these later days. So far as I know you haven’t figu re d in tournament bridge since the Indian Wars.” “I could beat you tomorrow,” snapped Blair, flinging prudence to the winds. “You’re nothing but a bag of wind.” “Now, now Reuben,” said Julian in a fatherly fashion. “Now, now.” “I could beat you tomorrow, sir.” Suddenly Julian’s eyes were sharp and bright as knives. “What about my challenge then? What about my challenge, Reuben? Do you mean to say that you’re accepting it at last?” Reuben Blair was trapped and knew it. There could be no withdrawal now. If he declined the challenge now by tomorrow he would be the laughing stock of his little world. In other moods Patricia might have found Blair’s harried air amusing, might have found amusing the fact that Haverholt had goaded his pompous little enemy on to the decision he had so long evaded. “Let’s get out of this,” Clark suggested now. “Or,” he added quickly, “do you want to join Julian?” "No,” she murmured, “no.” A crowd was gathering. Word of the encounter between Blair and Haverholt had flown about. The knot about the two ancient enemies was increasing. There was excitement in the air. The battle of ballyhoo was taking form, the bridge battle of the century, the bridge sharpers versus the ladies and gentlemen. Patricia’s head ached, ached. Nothing mattered now. She wanted only to escape this foolish, chattering crowd. She excused herself to Clark and crept into the dressing room. Marthe found her there minutes later, Marthe, jubilant, excited, delighted that her ball had been the scene of a sensation. "The bridge marathon is all arranged,” she explained her coming here. “The newspaper men want your photograph. They want to photograph the three of you together, you, Julian, and Reuben Blair.” Patricia felt an old fear stir at ker heart. "Newspaper men,” she said not

quite steadily. “They couldn’t have arrived already.” “They were - here for the ball,” Marthe supplied shortly. “They have set up their cameras in the ballroom. They’re waiting,” She regarded the younger girl with narrowed eyes. “Or don’t you want to come?” What she meant was, “Don’t you dare?” Patricia dared. What had she now to lose? She stood in the center of the ballroom beside Julian and the unhappy, wretched Blair while the flashlights boomed and the acrid smell of powder filled the air. The battle of ballyhoo had begun. The bridge marathon was under way. It would, thought Patricia, as she smiled into the cameras, it would destroy her before it ended. Just now she could not care. The morning papers went for the battle of the bridge experts in a great big way. Julian had picked a perfect spot to fling down and force his challenge. The March Ball. That helped the story. The public interest in the game of contract helped. But, the thing that made the coming battle a perfect piece of news was Julian and Julian's personality and Julian's audacious and amazing impudence. “Julian Haverholt, self-styled bridge sharper, winner of the Eastern Championship for the past three years, offers to bet ten thousand dollars against ten cents, that he and his niece will defeat Reuben Blair, elder statesman of the game.” Blair had angrily declined the bet. That only increased the humor of Julian’s terms. The city rocked with laughter. The public loves a scrap. Subway straphangers were discussing Haverholt and Blair, housewives in New Jersey, bankers down in Wall Street, knew all about the marathon. The terms of the coming match were scattered broadcast; not a newspaper but printed them. Blair and Haverholt had agreed to play two hundred rubbers of bridge, never less than five an evening, two hundred rubbers to rule out the element of luck. “They’ll be playing bridge till Christmas,” one stenographer said to another. “I guess those fellows like it. My boy friend says . . .” Half of the match was to be

staged at a hotel of Julian’s choice, the other half was to be staged at the Carlton Chambers, the ultraconservative, smart hotel whe r • Reuben Blair had lived for years. “I’m not sure about this special type of publicity,” murmured the manager of tbs Carlton Chambers to the "You're crazy, Tom! The match is going to make newspaper history, mark my words; Gosh, what a break for us.” Haverholt and Blair finally settled on a wager, which the latter reluctantly accepted as fitting to his dignity. Julian bet twenty thousand dollars to five thousand that he would triumph, the winnings is either case to go to charity. “I hope they don’t ask me to take such m on e y,” sniffed Miss Eloise Petty, who ran a home for decrepit horses. “I’d like a chance to turn it down. It’s tainted money, won by gambling, whatever fancy name they call it by. It’s a disgrace that decent newspapers would print such stuff—l’m going to stop my subscriptions instantly." Julian Haverholt promised to stick to his system of bidding, a system that, in his modest estimation, was preeminent, unique in its field for accuracy and precision. His little red book was for sale in any book store. Oddly, Blair used identical terms in describing the system which he had invented and would employ. His little green book was similarly for sale. "I always use the Haverholt system myself,” a society woman declared to her friends. “When you remember it, don’t you mean that, Janie? Now, just the other day, do you recall that heart hand . . Haverholt and Blair were in complete accord on one point. The battle of the experts would automatically decide who was the greatest bridge player in the world. In their minds, and in the public mind, the affair had the definite quality of a prize fight championship. Other lesser experts, reading the papers over breakfast coffee, hardly fancied that interpretation. There were mutterings of dissent in many bridge clubs, vain mutterings. It was too late. The ball had started rolling The battle of ballyhoo was in its stride. (To Be Continued) ! ® 1932, by King Features Syndicate. Inc.
